I'd like to retract my statements about Mr. Rice in this thread. It was not fair to him for me to take my anger out on his student by attacking him. I have had very little exposure to him or his classes, so I do not know what he tells people is or is not effective. I spoke with him at his house this afternoon and he even said himself he has trouble making Wing Chun practical as compared to say Muay Thai. I wanted to clear this up because I of all people know how hard it can be to support a family and felt with my limited exposure to him and his training I do not have the right to throw dirt on his name. I can say he was well aware of everything that I said here and was still very polite and professional when I decided to reach out to him.

Well seeing how the thread I asked to be deleted is still here I will not be asking again. Maybe it's better that it doesn't get deleted.

As to the man I was retracting my statements about, his name is Sifu Larry Rice of Mtn Martial Arts Academy. The student of his I was referring to is SonofRex.
